I love spring ........ I like summer, I don't mind autumn, I dislike winter - but I really do love spring!! Today has been glorious, with blue skies and sunshine, the birds singing, the lambs frolicking - bliss!! We went out for a walk after lunch, and we hadn't gone far before I had to take off my jacket, it was so warm. This ewe was a bit hot and bothered - no doubt she will feel better when her lamb(s) arrive(s)
The blossom is coming out
The catkins are abundant
The first dandelion of the year!
A carpet of tiny violets
The Minto Hills look hazy in the distance
The spring ploughing and planting is well under way
Looking down to the stretch of road where I frequently meet large lorries!
I stood well to the side as this horse passed us on the bridle path!
As we came up the hill to the house, Malcolm walked on home as I stopped to take some photos of the lambs
You know I quite often finish with a quirky photo, and today I had a choice of two ........
a rusty knot in fencing wire
a double yolk in the duck egg I was about to poach for lunch
